So, Monday, October 5 was World Teachers Day and in commemoration of it, President Muhammadu Buhari made some promises to Nigerian teachers.

Below are some of them:

1. EXTENSION OF RETIREMENT AGE: The President increased the number of years of service for Nigerian teachers from 35 to 40. This means that while other civil servants would have to retire at age 65 or upon completion of 35 years in service, Nigerian teachers have the option of continuing to teach after hitting any of the compulsory returning age brackets.

2. INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL PENSION SCHEME: The President has also approved a special pension scheme for Nigerian teachers. This is to account for the extension of their retirement age which has now been raised to 40 years.
